Chapter 1: Prologue
“Stop him!”
Flashy magical spells slammed down against the earth like hammers. The demons were at a loss for words.
A scene commonly read about only in myths was being reenacted. Rays of magic, no, cannons bombarded the battlefield time and time again. The ground shook. A commander shouted as he struck the backs of his men. Stop him, he ordered.
But how exactly were they supposed to do that?
“G-General. The enemy forces are too powerful.”
“Our second line of defense has already been breached…… Our minotaur unit has been completely wiped out!”
All of the demons that were present were elite soldiers. Even if the battle seemed hopeless, they would gladly march forward. However, even these elite demon soldiers were taken aback by the spectacle unraveling before them.
A single human was running through the center of all of the raining spells. It looked as if he were simply sprinting down a boulevard. The human swung his greatsword around, unconcerned about the shower of magical spells and arrows around him. Each time his greatsword flashed, dozens of demons collapsed as their guts spilled out.
If they were ordered to lay down their lives, then they would do so. If sacrificing themselves meant that their side would achieve victory, then they would readily give up their lives.
